Nate’s POV
I had stopped kissing Isabella by the time I heard people cheering in the hallway.
” What the – ” Isabella said as her hands dropped from my chest.
I didn’t care, I was too busy watching Tory and Rex making out like people that couldn’t get enough of each other.
A pang of pain hit me as I heard him moan at the touch of her hands in his hair and as she kissed him deeper. Damn, she looks like a fucking good kisser!
People had already brought out their phone recording before Rex finally ended the kiss and they stood there breathing heavily. His arms were still wrapped around her waist, her boobs still so close to his chest, her cheeks were red, and her lips… They were already even more full than before, swollen from their kiss.
Why do I feel jealous? I asked myself. Why the hell would I be jealous? I hate her – I said to myself as I grabbed Isabella’s hand and walked to class as the bell rang.
Everyone else entered class soon after. I sat down and Isabella wanted to sit next to me but I waved her off. I thought that if Isabella and I came to school as a couple Tory would be hurt because she’ll see Rex get pissed over it. Now, they just made out and I really shouldn’t care but I do!
” Hey Nate,” Troas said to me and I looked at him making him shift backward.
” What do you want?” I snarled.
” I brought your homework” he said with a smile and I just looked away from him and said, ” Fine, get out after you’ve dropped it on my table”
” Thanks,” he said with an awkward smile before he dropped the notes on my table.
I peered through them and got angry for no reason.
” Troas” I called as Tory and Rex walked into the class hand in hand.
” Yes?”he answered, he seemed nervous and that only fueled my anger.
” What the hell did you put on my note?” I asked when I finally found a reason to get mad at him.
” I’m sorry, it was sauce, I was hungry… It won’t happen again” he apologized with a shy smile and I wondered why he would smile, he should be scared of what I would do to him!
” You were eating while doing my homework?” I asked.
” I’m sorry” he said, this time genuinely because he was starting to see that I was not joking around.
” Okay, get me your notebook. You said you do it side by side right?” I asked and he nodded.
” Y-yes, I do yours at the same time as mine”
” Great, give me it” I said and he opened his backpack and handed me his note.
I opened it scanning through the page his homework was in. It was perfectly neat, with no food stains of any kind.
” So, yours is just perfect while mine looks like the floor of a messed up kitchen” I said with a wry smile and he gulped.
” It’s just that one place Nate, please” he begged.
“Well, I’m pissed. When do we submit this anyway?”
” In a couple of minutes when the teacher comes.” He said nervously. Everyone was already watching me, wondering what I’d do to him.
” I see. My work looks gross, yours looks good, so I’m just gonna…” I tore off the page of my homework and made sure it was perfectly shredded to pieces before I sprinkled it on him.
” Fucking do it before the teacher comes.” I said looking at my watch and he quickly grabbed my note and started writing again.
” Good morning class” the teacher said and I made a slicing gesture on my throat, saying the words ” you’re so dead”.
********
” Please I’m sorry” Troas begged before I finally poured the last can of water on his head and the boy sneezed. In my heart, I hated that I had to do this but I really couldn’t resist that feeling of having everyone and anyone below me.
” Stop it already” Rex said and I dropped the can on Troas’s head before I turned around to face Rex.
” Mind your business, as you have always done”
” Not anymore” Rex replied icily as he put his hands in his pocket, I too did the same and ordered Zach to pour another chilled bottle of water on Troas.
” No please!” Troas yelled but Zach had already poured the water on him and Troas sneezed.
” He’s asthmatic for fucks sake” Rex said in a very hard tone and I knew he was already really mad at me – good.
” It’s funny how you wouldn’t have said anything if we were still friends, now you’re acting like a saint? Please deep down you know you wanna take a piss on the boy”
” You’re right about that, I wouldn’t have done anything about it IF we were friends because I used to be fine if you didn’t extend your madness too me”
” Troas get up and go” Rex commanded.
” Troas don’t fucking leave that spot or you’re dead” I growled. Troas stayed put and bend his low in submission. I turned around and smirked at Rex, his face now hideous from his frown.
” Is this how you treat Isabella when she offends you? Punish her?” Rex asked and I walked closer to him and then took another step so that my shoulder was beside his.
” Isabella’s my little cranky toy. She loves me but I don’t give a shit about her, I just keep her around for the fact that she’s fucking sexy in bed. I bet you didn’t get there with her yet” I whispered in his ears and that did it.
He pinned me to the wall before he punched me – I let him punch me rather. He punched me yet again and students were starting to gather as they yelled ” fight!!!”
I wiped the blood off my mouth before I grinned and pushed him to the ground, mounted him, and started punching him non stop.
” Nate!” Isabella shrieked and I spat out some blood still left in my mouth before I got up from a now profuse bleeding Rex and walked away.
My hands were covered in blood, Rex’s blood, and I could hear some teachers restraining Rex from trying to fight with me but I ignored them as I kept heading to the restroom to clean up.
That’s when I saw her – Tory, she looked at me with so much horror in her eyes. The kind of horror I see in my mother’s eyes when I’ve done something she never thought I would.
I was hurt again when Tory just walked past me and went to meet Rex, holding unto him as she cleaned up his blood-stained face.
That could’ve been me she was holding and cleaning up like that. If only my hate wasn’t greater than my attraction for her.
